Nice find, Wud! Should clean up nicely.

 

I have a '53 that I am very attached to. What else are you looking for other than a knob(or two)?

 

Rod

 

 

The Pick Guard and support that goes with it , I HOPE is all im gonna need

Ah Yeah....the guard!

 

Repro replacements are available.....or period correct can be had at a cost. Do some googling on the net and you will find what you need.

 

 

Just did a search on Ebay.....

Best of luck!

Due to the eventual off-gassing deterioration of ALL vintage celluloid pickguards, I DO NOT recommend ever using a "vintage" pickguard for ANY restoration project.

 

Get yourself a NEW reproduction (or replacement) so as to reset the disintegration clock back to zero.

I purchased a Repro off ebay , and you may be right . Always on the look out for vintage if i can get them . Hard to come by though
